[Vocals: Deep, haunting, and expressive. The vocals should convey a sense of dread and storytelling, with moments of intense emotion and whispered verses to enhance the creepy atmosphere. Think of a mix between the dark, melodic style of gothic rock and the intense, dramatic delivery of horrorcore.] [Intro] Soft wind howling / "Hey, did you hear that?" / "Yeah, it's just the wind, right?" / [Verse 1] Low, distant moan / "Remember that tale of the old man, the one who disappeared?" / "They say he never left, his shadow still near." / "You mean the house at the end of the lane?" / "Yes, the one wrapped in fog, hidden in pain." / [Pre-Chorus] Creaking floorboards / "Folks say he watches, from corners unseen." / "They claim he's waiting, where nightmares convene." / [Chorus] Echoing footsteps / "He's still there, in the hallways, you'll hear his steps." / "In the mirror, behind you, his presence weeps." / "Don't look back, or you'll see his face." / "Run too slow, and he'll take your place." / [Verse 2] Rustling chains / "Remember the room with the old rocking chair?" / "It moves on its own, no one's ever there." / "The basement door that creaks in the night?" / "Something lives down there, far from the light." / [Bridge] Whispering voices / "The attic whispers stories of those who dared." / "Once you enter, none have been spared." / "Spiders crawl, webs entwine, fear's snare." / "In the dark, he waits, your skin he tears." / [Chorus] Heavy breathing / "He's still there, in the hallways, you'll hear his steps." / "In the mirror, behind you, his presence weeps." / "Don't look back, or you'll see his face." / "Run too slow, and he'll take your place." / [Verse 3] Distant child crying / "Remember the girl who vanished last year?" / "They say she met him, in her mind he's clear." / "He follows your thoughts, knows your dread." / "Once he finds you, you're better off dead." / [Outro] Thunder rumbling / "Stay away from that place, don't tempt fate." / "His grip is tight, and he won't wait." / "In every shadow, his story's spun." / "Run away now, or you're the next one." / [End]
